Noise levels in the ocean are increasing and are expected to affect marine mammals. To examine the auditory effects of noise on odontocetes, a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) was exposed to octave-band noise (4-8 kHz) of varying durations (<2-30 min) and sound pressures (130-178 dB re 1 microPa). Temporary threshold shift (TTS) occurrence was quantified in an effort to (i) determine the...

a generalization of the known results in fusion frames and $g$-frames theory to continuous fusion frames which defined by m. h. faroughi and r. ahmadi, is presented in this study. continuous resolution of the identity (cri) is introduced, a new family of cri is constructed, and a number of reconstruction formulas are obtained. also, new results are given on the duality of continuous fusion fram...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF STUDY: Skin aging is a complex process induced by constant exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and damages human skin. UV generates reactive oxygen species leading to collagen deficiency and eventually skin wrinkling. Basil contains a number of phenolics and favonoids which possess antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to formulate and i...

Land-use change is one of the major factors affecting global environmental change and represents a primary human effect on natural systems. Taking into account the scales and patterns of human land uses as source/sink disturbance systems, we describe a framework to characterize and interpret the spatial patterns of disturbances along a continuum of scales in a panarchy of nested jurisdictional ...

Abstract Staphylococcal superantigen (SAg) toxins are the most notable virulence factors associated with Staphylococcus aureus , which is a pathogen serious community and hospital acquired infections in humans various diseases animals. Recently, SAg have become superfamily 29 types, including staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) emetic activity, SE-like (SEls) that do not induce emesis primate mod...

Existing star-forming vs. active galactic nucleus (AGN) classification schemes using optical emission-line diagnostics mostly fail for low-metallicity and/or highly galaxies, missing AGN in typical $z\sim0$ dwarfs. To recover dwarfs with strong emission lines (SELs), we present a scheme optimizing the use of existing diagnostics. We SDSS catalogs overlapping volume- and mass-limited RESOLVE ECO...
